Transcriptional regulation of human pterygial-derived fibroblasts in response to FCS and TGFbeta

ABSTRACT: Pterygium is an ocular disease that involves a fleshy growth from the conjunctiva across the cornea. It demonstrates accelerated fibroblastic proliferation, matrix deposition and neovascularisation, which is closely linked to inflammation. Growth factor levels are elevated in human pterygium through the enriched blood supply and these are believed to drive physiological events. For this reason, human fibroblasts derived from surgically removed pterygium samples (obtained with full ethical approval) were treated for 24 hours with 10% foetal calf serum (FCS), to mimic an enriched growth factor environment, Transforming growth factor beta2 (TGFÎ²2), which is often associated with fibrosis and has previously been detected in pterygium, or maintained in serum-free control medium (Eagle's minimum essential medium (EMEM)). To ascertain gross changes in gene expression as a consequence of these treatment groups a HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip Kit was employed.

Differential regulation of microRNA in ocular wound healing

Project description:Pterygium is a relatively common human ocular surface fibroproliferative disease that affects vision. Endogenously produced microRNA (miRNA) regulates gene expression in various ocular surface diseases and possibly pterygium. We aimed to investigate the role of miRNA in pterygium. Paired human pterygium and conjunctival tissues were obtained from patients diagnosed with primary pterygium. miRNA microarray profiling identified statistically significant miRNA changes which were matched to reciprocal significant changes in their target transcripts. We employed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and found that hsa-miR-766 was up-regulated (2.57-fold) whilst hsa-miR-215 was down-regulated (0.49-fold) in pterygium compared to conjunctival control. Localization of miRNA was performed using in-situ hybridization. Transcript levels of predicted hsa-miR-766 targets, nuclear receptor subfamily 4, group A, member 1 and epidermal growth factor-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1, were down-regulated in pterygium compared to conjunctiva by 0.53- and 0.64-fold, respectively. Collagens type 3, alpha 1 and type 4, alpha 2, both targets of hsa-miR-215, were up-regulated in pterygium by 3.01- and 3.11-fold, respectively. These changes were confirmed in the protein levels using immunofluorescent staining. Derangement of hsa-miR-766 and hsa-miR-215 may cause dysregulation of matrix rearrangement, cell proliferation and adhesion proteins, resulting in pterygium formation. Targeting miRNA may be a possible therapeutic approach in this disease.

Transforming growth factor-B1 drives differentiation of the embryonic jejunum

Project description:Transcription profiling by microarray was performed to pinpoint the roles of transforming growth factor B1 (TGFB1) in embryonic differentiation of the small intestine. An organ culture system in which mouse jejunal rudiments were placed on semipermeable platforms and fed with chemically defined serum-free media, supplemented with two concentrations of TGFB1.

H. ducreyi 35000HP grown in the presence or absence of FCS

Project description:Haemophilus ducreyi 35000HP was subjected to different in vitro growth conditions that resemble the in vivo host environment (presence of serum), in order to ascertain the overall changes in gene expression. This information might identify genes important for colonization and/or survival inside the host.

Sox4 is a master regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by controlling Ezh2 expression and epigenetic reprogramming

Project description:Gene expression profiling has uncovered the transcription factor Sox4 with up-regulated activity during TGFÎ²-induced EMT in normal and cancerous breast epithelial cells. Sox4 is indispensable for EMT and cell survival in vitro and for primary tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Among several EMT-relevant genes, Sox4 directly regulates the expression of Ezh2, encoding the Polycomb group histone methyltransferase that trimethylates histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) for gene repression. Ablation of Ezh2 expression prevents EMT, while forced expression of Ezh2 restores EMT in Sox4-deficient cells. Ezh2-mediated H3K27me3 marks associate with key EMT genes, representing an epigenetic EMT signature that predicts patient survival. Our results identify Sox4 as a master regulator of EMT by governing the expression of the epigenetic modifier Ezh2. Our Dataset comprises of 12 ChIP-seq samples using chromatin from NMuMG cells which was immunoprecipitated using H3K27me3-specific antibody during TGFÎ²-induced EMT (2ng/ml) at 6 different stages (day 0, 1, 4, 7, 10, 20).

Expression data from Sox4 knockdown cells in the presence and absence of TGFÎ² in NMuMG cells

Project description:Expression profiling after Sox4 knockdown (KD) during epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in NMuMG reveals a significant number of genes that are transcriptionally deregulated. Gene expression profiling is performed in Sox4-ablated (siSox4) NMuMG cells. Cells transfected with siControl is used as a control. The cells were either treated with transforming growth factor-beta (TGFÎ²; 2ng/ml) or not.

Expression profiling explores pathways involved in pterygium progression

Project description:Pterygium is an ocular surface disease that can cause visual impairment if it progressively invades the cornea. Although many pieces of research showed that ultraviolet radiation triggers pterygium pathological progress, the underlying mechanism in pterygium remains indistinct. In this study, we used microarray to evaluate the changes of transcripts between primary pterygium and adjacent normal conjunctiva samples in China, hoping to find underlying pathways involved in pterygium progression.

Transcription profiling of Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) maintained in FCS vs autologous serum analysed at passage 4

Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine whether the serum condition affected the gene expression in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). To that end, we compared gene expression in MSCs maintained in regular growth medium supplemented with fetal calf serum (FCS) with gene expression of MSCs cultured in regular growth medium supplemented with autologous serum (AS) for 3 different donors (i.e. donor2, donor3 and donor4). MSCs were cultured in FCS- or AS-supplemented medium and were analyzed at passage 4.
